You have a few issues there
1. the contents of middle column (#links) overflows the box - you  
specify a height of 450px, and a font-size of 10px, but my browser(s)  
are configured to use a minimum font-size of 12px.

2. Safari vs Firefox and Opera 9.5b. The right column is pushed far  
away to the right in Firefox and Opera.  Browsers have different  
interpretation of how the margin on elements adjacent to a floated  
block should behave.
It doesn't help that the css 2.1 docs was change recently regarding  
this issue (essentially making the behaviour in Safari correct) [1].

You can solve this: set the margin-left on #scrollable to '0' (zero).

3. your #container should be 5px wider to accommodate the content,  
#header and #footer 15px wider.



IE 6 probably has a truckload of issues with its 'expanding width/ 
height' quirks and bugs. I don't have that browser at hand to test or  
advice.

The 5th paragraph is relevant here. Before the latest version, it  
stated that the horizontal margin should not collapse/slide under the  
floated block; the reverse is through now.
